LESSON L 
Constitutional Temperaments. 

Biological Types 

Each individual is more or less "temperamental," and 
the physical constitution of the human body, though 
composed of the same elements, is differently propor- 
tioned in each one of us. When we wish to understand 
the temperament of an individual, it is necessary for us 
to recognize the proportions of the elements which enter 
into his constitution. This is quite easy, when we learn 
the physical signs of the biological types, as determined 
by the degree in which the temperamental elements of 
Fire, Water, Earth and Air are organized into the phy- 
sical constitution. 

1.— THE FIRE TEMPERAMENT 

Heat tends to expand, and the first impression we 
get of a person of the Fire Temperament is that he is a 
"hot head." The physical signs are seen in a red face, 
florid complexion, full, thick neck, width of shoulders, 
a high chest development, and a broad form. 

Heat and Force 

The vital system gives heat and force to the human 
life, and the people who manifest life in a most vigorous 
degree show in their physical forms a high development 
of the heart and blood system. Their heads are usually 
a little higher than the average, their faces are wider at 
the nose, between the ears, and across the cheek bones. 
The type of face tends to be hexagonal or kite-shaped 
ill appearance.

In contrast, when you see a person with narrow, 
sloping shoulders, a thin neck, and bloodless face, you 
say, almost involuntarily, "What a poor fish," because 
you know he is too cold hearted and weak blooded to 
ever become heatedly excited or flushed with enthusiasm. 
Pep and Pluck 

Persons of the Fire Temperament are characteristi- 
cally sunny, sanguine and impulsive. They are usually 
enthusiastic and enterprising, and fond of outdoor life. 
They are emotional and impressionable, and at times 
excitable and high-tempered. Because of a high degree 
of affectability quickening the blood circulation, their 
faces often show heat and redness. 

The Dramatic Temperament 

Even under the appearance of composure, persons of 
the Fire Temperament are often a little excited. Emo- 
tional appeals arouse them quickly, they thrill with 
emotion and are naturally dramatic and quickly respon- 
sive. But though they will flare up quickly, unless you 
give them something to sustain their heat and enthusi- 
asm, they will cool down just as soon as they are left to 
themselves. 

Hot and Cold 

Persons ot the Fire Temperament are always sympa- 
thetic to emotional appeals. But under different im- 
pulses they cool quickly, and in their feelings they are 
often fickle and contradictory. They make the warmest 
of friends, they are often the most ardent lovers, and 
though sometimes they are outspoken, hot tempered and 
even quarrelsome, they are seldom implacable or cold- 
blooded. 

Changeableness and fickleness are weaknesses of this 
temperament. To do business with them you must close 

Page Four 



while they are responsive, for remember their enthusiasm 
will cool quickly, and that under new stimuli they will 
change and act as though they were different persons. 
Vocations For the Fire Temperament 
The ready responsiveness of this temperament tends 
to win popularity, and it is usually magnetic and attrac- 
tive. Public entertainment, dramatic art, business pro- 
motion, publicity and advertising, and occupations where 
people have to be popularly impressed, will provide 
careers for people of this temperament. 

2.— THE WATER TEMPERAMENT 

Water is the absorptive element of the human system, 
and when there is plenty of this fluid in the body, the 
physical form has an appearance of softness and round- 
ness. In the early stages of life, many forms are adapted 
only for nutrition; they are merely water sacks or 
absorption cells. 

In human life, there are some individuals whose 
stomachs are the predominating system. In them the 
absorptive, assimilative, and digestive functions are more 
developed and more exercised than any other processes. 
Round and Plump and Soft 

The physical signs of the Water Temperament are 
recognized when the form approximates to a circle, in a 
body that shows plenty of fat and moisture. The com- 
plexion is more or less pallid, the limbs are round, plump, 
and slightly short in proportion to the trunk, and the 
elbows, wrists, knees, and shoulders are thickly padded 
with soft flesh. The shoulders are often sloping, and 
the hands and feet fleshy and podgy, with dimples where 
the knuckles ought to be. In men the largest part of the 
body is round the girth ; in women, around the hips.

Comfort and Ease 

The fat, round person is not constructed for the 
strenuous life and is seldom a hard worker. But he is 
not easily upset. When he has to work, he performs his 
tasks easily and with as few movements as possible. He 
is usually patient, sure and deliberate, and is often slow 
and ponderous in his walk and movements. 

Jolly and Popular 

Persons with the Round Form of the Water Tem- 
perament are usually good-natured and easy-going. 
They like to enjoy themselves, and they find delight in 
the pleasures of others. They seek the good things of 
life, and enjoy rich food; they like a comfortable car to 
ride in, a warm room, a soft bed, and others to wait on 
them. They do not like to be inconvenienced, and they 
are the last to make trouble. They are usually popular, 
they make the best of circumstances and seldom worry 
unnecessarily. They are good mixers, they are genial in 
disposition, and adapt themselves readily to their 
company. 

Contented and Conservative 

Fat, round persons are not given to worrying about 
things outside of their own comfort. They endeavor to 
avoid all opposition and contentiousness, and they prefer 
to choose out and adapt themselves to the best conditions 
in their environment. They have little time and less 
support for the extreme radical or fad reformer; they 
prefer ease and comfort, and are generally contented 
enough to make the best of things. 

Ailments of the Water Temperament 

Persons of the Round Form are usually well nour- 
ished. But when fresh air and exercise are neglected, 
they become dull and sluggish through the body getting 

Page Six 



loaded with surplus matter not required for vital pur- 
poses. Pneumonia, diabetes, softening of the tissues, and 
hydrocephalus are the diseases most likely to attack 
persons who absorb more than they can digest and 
assimilate. 

At the other extreme, those who substitute hollow or 
flat lines for the characteristic curves of the Water Tem- 
perament are usually dry-skinned and irritable, and 
naturally predisposed to suffer from dyspepsia and other 
complaints due to poor absorption and weak assimilation. 
The dry, harsh, or loose, wrinkled skin, the muddy com- 
plexion, the foul breath, the congested faeces, or poor 
depuration of the liver and kidneys, may be due to lack 
of moisture and insufficient water in the system. 
Vocations for the Water Temperament 

Persons of the absorptive type and round form are 
seldom original ; yet, because they make the best of their 
opportunities, they usually succeed, where more thought- 
ful but less adaptive minds fail. True to their tempera- 
mental instinct, they are prompted to store away food, 
clothing and household comforts, and they are adapted 
to succeed in the merchandising of goods. Cooking, 
catering, nursing, selling food and drinks, the manage- 
ment of cafes, restaurants and hotels, and businesses 
which purvey to the comforts and physical needs of 
others, are all in the class of occupations suited to per- 
sons who have the signs of the Water Temperament 
predominant. 

3.— THE EARTH TEMPERAMENT 

After the vitalization of matter, and its absorption by 
the water elements into globular cells, the solid or 
skeletal form of body is evolved. In this form type, min- 
eral or earth elements are consolidated into bones, the 

Page Seven 



structure becomes more durable, and the body grows 
around the elongated shape of the skeleton. 

The physical signs which indicate a predominance of 
the Earth Temperament are length and tallness of form, 
a strong, bony, angular frame, considerable length of 
limbs, prominent joints, an oblong face, and well-marked 
features. 

Rigid and Enduring 

Persons with plenty of spine and backbone are firm 
and unyielding. The raw-boned people from northern 
latitudes show great hardihood and endurance, as well 
as the disposition to master difficulties by plodding per- 
severance. They are often stubborn, dogmatic, self- 
willed, headstrong, and obstinate. 

Bony persons of the Earth Temperament are not 
easily swayed or changed, they are not easily impressed, 
and you cannot drive them, particularly if they think 
you are trying to. But they are the pioneers of the 
world, the men who "stand up" to the rigor of cold and 
hardship, and "live through" despite difficulties. 

Persons of the long form are seldom brilliant ; rather, 
they are plodding and persistent. It is the type that 
shows most pronouncedly length and angularity, both in 
body and feature, who is the most positive and unyield- 
ing in his disposition. Those without the physical signs 
of length and bodily stiffness are characters more or less 
vacillating and spineless. 

"Bone in the body means bone in the head," just as 
too much fat in the body means something soft in the 
brain, and you need not expect to bend the bony man's 
mind any more easily than you can bend his body. You 
may readily affect the red-faced person; he will enthuse 
in response to your feelings; the fat man will yield to 

Page Eight 



your impressions if he can assimilate your ideas. But 
the bony man is different. He is hard-headed and diffi- 
cult to change, but when once you have received his 
endorsement, he will stay "fixed" and constant for a long 
period. 

Consistent and Persistent 

Persons of the bony type of the Earth Temperament 
are usually slow in anger, but they are about the only 
people who can stand up against great odds. They will 
persist in their opinions, and they can suffer ostracism, 
cruelty and disappointment without bending or breaking. 

In love, war, business, marriage, social relationship, 
it is the people of the Earth Temperament who are the 
most consistent. To others they may seem stolid, but 
they do not intend to be. Their indifference is because 
they are less impressionable and not so sensitive to 
stimuli. 

Power and Purpose 

The Osseous Type is inclined to be domineering and 
proud, he likes to have his own way, and he will go to 
great lengths to maintain his independence and pride. 
He is the most dependable when honest, and what he 
sets out to do he usually accomplishes. He often loves 
power, and is at times dictatorial and tyrannous in his 
authority. It is unwise to contradict or oppose him, as 
that will only arouse his persistence and stubbornness. 
His love of independence is strong, and sometimes you 
may arouse his positive tendencies by an appeal to his 
will or by a suggestion to his pride that makes him think 
he is having his own way. 

The Bilious Dyspeptic 

The dark, livery complexioned, spare form, with a 
dry, inactive skin, indicating the dissatisfied disposition 

Page Nine 



of the bilious dyspeptic, is not to be confounded with the 
healthy osseous type. But persons of the Earth Tem- 
perament are liable to become attacked by diseases which 
affect the spine and joints. And they may suffer from 
rheumatism. But they are seldom liable, to affections 
and diseases, and they are about the last to succumb to 
epidemics. They are in sickness, as in other things, slow 
to give way, but as a rule, they are slow to cure. 
Vocations for the Earth Sign 
The physical element of this temperament is mineral, 
and they are naturally related to mining and agriculture. 
They work well with the land and forests, they are good 
explorers and missionaries, and when intellectual and 
educated, they succeed in scientific discoveries. Farm- 
ing, stock-raising, lumbering, saw-milling, lighthouse- 
keeping, ship and bridge construction, are all occupations 
more or less suitable to persons of the Earth Tem- 
perament. 

4.— THE AIR TEMPERAMENT 

A human being may live several days without nour- 
ishment, but only a few minutes without air. Every 
movement of his muscles, from the use of his limbs down 
to the wrinkling of an eyelid, or to the minutest move- 
ment of a blood cell, requires the life-impelling energy 
of the air. And the type who most uses his muscles 
shows the highest development of the Air Temperament. 
The Sinuous Type 

The first impression you get of the person of the Air 
Temperament is a suggestion of an elemental adaptation 
to motion. The body is sinuous, springy, agile, and well- 
knit, and the muscles are proportionately stronger and 
more highly developed than any other system. The form 
is usually slightly below medium height, and from that 

Page Ten 



down to short. There is usually a muscular neck, strong 
facial muscles, without much flabbiness or bone. All the 
movements are quick and decisive, and there is plenty of 
lift and swing in the walk. 

Lean and Lithe 

There is nothing fat or lazy about this type, and their 
muscles are often so closely knitted and smoothly fitted 
that we do not always realize their activity. But the 
muscular person of the Air Temperament is seldom still, 
and whether he is engaged in work or play, this "lean 
meat" type will make more moves in the course of a day 
than any other type. He must have action, because the 
stimulus of air to the nerves of his muscles keep urging 
him from within to be busy in movement. 

Never overlook the importance of the Air Tempera- 
ment, for not one of us will act or carry out our plans 
unless we have a fair degree of muscularity. Lazy folk 
may give all kinds of reasons for their failures, and 
believe they are speaking the truth, but the real cause is 
often poor breathing and weak muscles, too flaccid for 
an ordinary degree of tensity and movement. It is the 
quick-breathing up-in-the-air "little monkey," (whether 
long-tailed or in knickers) that finds it so hard to sit still 
and refrain from getting into mischief. 

Physical Gymnast and Mental Acrobat 

The person with the sinuous, cat-like body does not 
generally disclose all of his mental processes, for, just as 
he can keep control over his muscles, he usually succeeds 
in concealing his feelings and motives. His physical 
dexterity is often accompanied by a corresponding mental 
elasticity, and by the use of more than an ordinary degree 
of tact and adroitness. 



Page Eleven 



In business he is inclined to be smart, alert and pro- 
gressive. He likes efficiency and effectiveness, and 
demands the shortest and quickest methods. 

Vocations for the Air Temperament 

The strongest characteristic of this temperament is 
its tendency to activity, particularly physical activity. 
The muscular, sintjous person loves motion, speed, 
activity, physical contest, and plenty of movement. He 
likes to work with electricity, fast-running machinery, 
high-powered cars, and everything which involves mo- 
tion. He is often a born mechanic and inventor. Air- 
plane construction and navigation are occupations par- 
ticularly suited to his temperament. Athletes, football 
and baseball players, rowers, acrobats, and professional 
dancers are usually types who show the muscular system 
markedly developed. 

5.— PHYSICAL AND MENTAL TYPES 

The short, stocky body, with wide, square shoulders, 
standing firmly and solidly on short limbs, with a square 
face and head, is the typical physical worker. His body 
is built up of nearly equal proportions of the four tem- 
peraments. He has the broad form, high chest, big heart 
and strong circulation of the Fire Temperament; the 
deep stomach and heavy trunk of the Water Tempera- 
ment ; the heavy bones and powerful frame of the Earth 
Temperament; and the stocky, compact muscles of the 
Air Temperament. The powerful, stalwart workmen 
who dig ditches, tunnels, and tubes, and who do the 
heavy physical work of the world, as a rule, show an 
inferior or ordinary development of the brain and nervous 
system. 

In the mental workers, the brain and nervous system 
is more highly developed than the physical elements of 

Page Twelve 



the body. They are usually more frail and delicate in 
structure, and generally below medium height, as well as 
lighter in weight. The head is large in proportion to the 
body, and the face pear-shaped, with the small end down. 
Because the mind dominates their bodies, they live to 
plan, imagine, visualize, and think out the possibilities, 
probabilities and potentialities of existence. The thinker 
has the vision to see what the world needs, and every 
step in the political, social, individual, industrial, religi- 
ous, and economic progress of man has been foreseen and 
anticipated by the men and women mentally evolved 
beyond their contemporaries. But in their day, they 
were often ridiculed, and even persecuted, and sometimes 
it has taken decades and even centuries before the value 
of their ideas has been fully appreciated or utilized. 

LESSON 2.- 
Practical Physiognomy. 

6.— COLOR AND COMPLEXION 

Color is the great dividing line of the human races, 
and though there is every gradation of the yellow, red 
and brown in between, it is in the extremes of black and 
white that human beings are most distinctive and sepa- 
rate in their characteristics. Probably, the first of our 
modern races, who inhabited the tropics, were dark- 
skinned or black, and that the Brown, Red, Yellow, and 
White Races were evolved later. With corresponding 
changes of climate and environment, and, probably causal 
thereto, there was an inflow of an ascending intelligence 
and higher spiritual consciousness, so, that, side by side 
with his physical changes of color, man has manifested 
an evolutionary development of his emotional, intel- 
lectual and religious nature. 



Page Thirteen 



Blonds Quick and Restless 

The Blond is fair-complexioned, with light-colored 
hair, eyes and skin. Physically, he is inclined to be rapid 
and active, with a natural tendency to adventure into new 
undertakings. He is generally a good leader, and the 
blond races have been successful at organizing and 
colonizing. 

The mentality of the Blond is objective; he is often 
less introspective and not so meditative as the Brunette. 
But he is more hopeful and enterprising. In his religion 
he tends to be enthusiastically vital, and in a way so real- 
istic as to cause him to project his ideals into practical 
politics and every-day reforms. In his faults the Blond 
is often domineering, impulsive and foolhardy. 

Brunettes Steady and Patient 

The Brunette is distinguished by dark coloring of his 
body, hair and eyes. Usually, the rate of his nervous 
vibration, as well as that of his respiration, digestion and 
circulation, is slower than that of the Blond. The Bru- 
nette tends to be more steadfast and enduring in his 
physical movements, and his mind is usually conservative 
and constant. In his religious manifestations, he is sub- 
jective and interior, and, according to his degree of 
spirituality, he is likely to be emotional, introspectively 
meditative, or ideally abstract. 

7.— FINENESS AND COARSENESS OF TEXTURE 

Next to Color, the quality of the physical organiza- 
tion is most noticeable. From the spiritual to the animal, 
the fineness or coarseness of the bodily texture corre- 
sponds to souls in every degree of manifestation. In 
some persons everything is hard, rough, coarse and gross. 

Page Fourteen 



The form is rude, the facial features are disproportionate, 
the skin is coarse, and the hands are rough and unfit for 
delicate manipulations. In others, everything is reversed. 
All is symmetrical, fine, smooth and well finished. The 
skin is thin, and glows with every change of feeling, the 
features are finely chiseled, the hands are flexible, and 
every movement is easy and graceful. 

Talks Through His Hide 

A person with fine organic quality differs in thought 
and feeling, in modes of worship, sentiment and artistic 
conception, and in all ways from those whose bodies are 
coarse in texture. Wanting in nervous susceptibility, the 
coarse individual refines nothing. From his dinner to 
his political addresses, he wants everything hot and 
strong. Weight and quantity appeal to him — a brass 
band, with flaming colors, arouses his attention, — but the 
person of finer fiber, sensitively desirous of the beautiful 
and delicate, shrinks from all that is coarse, noisy, or 
vulgar. 

Slow Wits and Big Heads 

Mental alertness and physical activity are revealed 
by sharpness of outline and feature. A sharp, thin nose 
and well defined features signify mental and physical 
alertness, but dullness and mental obtusity are hidden 
behind expressionless, slow-moving eyes, that rest above 
the flattened nose spread out on the cheeks. A big head 
and large forehead, above flattened features and slow- 
moving eyes, suggest a brain piece without a "kick," a 
big dial plate without inside power to make it tick. 

8.— FACE PROPORTIONS 

The three simple divisions, illustrated in the diagram, 

Page Fifteen 



are easily distinguished. The upper face will be con- 
sidered largest, when the sec- 
tion of the face between the 
hair line and the forehead at 
the root of the nose is more 
than a third of the total face; 
the middle face will be the 
most pronounced when the 
greatest proportion is between 
the eyebrows and a line run- 
ning immediately under the 
septum of the nose; and the 
lower face, when the chin and 
mouth, below where the nose _ , Face divided to show 

Forehead, Nose and Chin Sections. 

joins the face, is of greatest size. 

Forehead Section and Intellectuality 

The large upper face marks the intellectual type. 
Width of the forehead indicates the range of mental com- 
prehension, the broad forehead accompanies the synthetic 
mind; whilst the length of the forehead in profile indi- 
cates an analytical tendency, and that there is depth and 
intensity to the understanding. But a narrow forehead 
denotes limited intellectual range, and a short, low fore- 
head profile betokens corresponding mental shallowness. 
Nose Section and Material Interests 

The large middle section of the face indicates a strong 
disposition to seek the material things of life, and a char- 
acter that has the energy to push the interests of "num- 
ber one." Great width of the upper jaw and prominent 
cheek bones are the significant marks of executive, com- 
bative, and aggressive natures; but narrow mid-faces 
and deficient nose form are met only in those whose 
characters are tame and listless. 

Page Sixteen 




Chin Section and Tenacity 

The large lower face expresses strong desires to 
accomplish its owner's will ; the width of the chin indi- 
cates the strength and tenacity of the feelings, and the 
depth of the chin, the intensity and persistency of the 
desires. 

Broad strong chins belong to persons of a positive, 
dominant character, but small, weak lower faces are seen 
most frequently with those who are purposeless and 
without tenacity of instinct. 



9.— ANGLES AND PROFILES 

Three angles of thirty degrees measure the face ; the 
first angle measures the forehead or upper face ; the 
second, the nose or middle 
face; and the third, the 
mouth and chin, or lower 
face. These imaginary an- 
gles will prove of much 
value in enabling the stu- 
dent to estimate the degree 
of departure from correct 
proportions. 

A profile, with the fore- 
head and lips touching a 
vertical line is considered 
representative of the great- 
est beauty of form and the 
highest intelligence. But 
this ideal type is usually 
departed from, and the facial 
line generally slopes either 

a little forward or backward. ^ 8 §£S^3L^ fiw ' 




Page Seventeen 



Receding Angles 

When the facial line falls back at the top, owing to a 
deficient and receding forehead, the power of reasoning 
will be possessed in a limited degree only. 

Protruding Angles 

A bulging upper forehead, throwing the facial line 
forward at the top, signifies a mental disposition to rea- 
son profoundly from assumed premises, but without 
much consideration of fact. 

The Convex Profile 

When the middle region is most prominent, and the 
facial line in profile is shaped like the outer edge of a 
segment of a circle, we have the significant indication of 
aggressive energy. 

In this convex profile, the nose is the most prominent 
feature of the face. The mouth usually protrudes and 
the lower forehead is well projected. 
But the chin is not so prominent. 
This prominence of the middle face 
is characteristic of persons positive 
and active, and noted for their push, 
vim, and driving power. 

Convexity applies to each fea- 
ture of the face, as well as to the 
profile. In the diagram, the sharp, 
lower forehead, indicates one who 
thinks quickly, who dislikes theo- 
ries, and is practically minded. The 
nose shows that he would act ener- 
getically, and the mouth that he would speak impulsively. 
The receding chin line suggests lack of tenacity and 
persistence. 

Page Eighteen 




The Concave Profile 

This profile is just the opposite to the Convex. The 
general contour is hollow, or moon-shaped, and might 
be drawn on the inside of a circle. The 
forehead is prominent next to the hair 
line and flat at the brows, the mouth is 
hollow, and the nose is short, low in the 
bridge, and curved inward from root to 
tip. 

This hollow curved profile belongs 
to persons who think and act slowly and 
deliberately, and who are usually pa- 
tient, plodding, enduring and deliberate 
in their undertakings. They are not so 
aggressive as the Convex Profile person, 
though they often gain their ends by 
being more tactful and diplomatic, and by using greater 
planning power. 

In the diagram, the fuller upper forehead illustrates 
the mentality that thinks slowly and carefully, and 
studies theories and philosophy. The short nose shows 
the disposition to act slowly, and the hollow mouth to 
speak restrainedly. But the strong chin suggests instinc- 
tive tenacity and purposeful determination. 

The Face Line 

The face line, or line of distance, is an imaginary 
vertical line drawn from the chin to the forehead. The 
farther forward this line, or the greater its distance from 
the opening of the ears, is an indication of the degree in 
which the mind and character are evolved. Just notice 
how flattened and shortened back towards the ears, is 
this frontal face line in the Asiatic baby and children of 
the lower races. (See diagram, page 17.)

10— THE PSYCHOLOGY OF EXPRESSION 

Though we are told "not to judge a book by its cov- 
ers," all of us are impressed, more or less, by the outward 
appearance of persons. Of course, the manner of dress, 
walk, carriage and deportment may be assumed, but, if 
we study closely, we can detect the difference between 
the assumption of an artificial personality and an appear- 
ance that is habitual. We wear "tall clothes" when we 
feel "big;" when we are repressed and rebuffed we feel 
small enough to "crawl into our shoes." 

Concentric and Excentric Muscles 

Feelings and emotions of pleasure, pride, aggression, 
assertion, benevolence, kindness, love, courage, and 
friendliness are mainly excentric. Emotions and feelings 
of humiliation, denial, negation, stinginess and fear are 
mainly concentric in their expression. Thus, by contrac- 
tion and relaxation under the impulse of the feelings, the 
network of muscles covering the face is continuously 
wrinkling the skin, and just as the emotions are repeated, 
and become habitual, they are permanently expressed by 
corresponding lines of the face. 

The contrasted feelings of pleasure and pain are ex- 
pressed by two well-defined classes of facial muscles; 
the wrinkles that droop and contract show pain, while 
pleasure is expressed in the lines which expand and curve 
outward and upward. 

Lines and Wrinkles 

Age and work stamp crow's feet under the eyes; 
study and mental labor write lines upon the expressive 
brow; sickness slowly and surely cuts seams in the face; 
avarice dries up and shrivels the skin; and hate draws 
down the lower lip and hideously exposes the canine 
teeth. Hope elevates the curves of the mouth; mirth- 

Page Twenty 



fulness wreathes the lips with smiles, and happy laughter 
leaves its bright footprints in lines running upward and 
outward from the corners of the mouth. 

« 

Emotions of rage and anger contract and droop the 
eyebrow muscle, and give to the face a frowning, lower- 
ing expression. Depressed brows and indrawn facial lines 
express a disposition habitually severe and discontented. 

Sneering contracts the muscles in the center of the 
face, wrinkles the side of the nose, and makes furrows 
from above the outer wings of the nostrils down to the 
upper lip. A pronounced line running down from the 
nostrils, especially when accompanied by smaller lines 
on the wings of the nose, indicates a mind sneeringly 
contemptuous of the attainments and weaknesses of 
others. 

Under feelings of disappointment, the corners of the 
mouth are drawn downward. Small, well-marked lines, 
running from below depressed corners of the lips signify 
a gloomy, morose disposition. 

Subconscious Suggestion 

Facial and muscular expression are so closely allied 
that when we assume an expression outwardly, at the 
same time, we induce in our consciousness its allied emo- 
tion. Thus it is impossible to express any one feeling 
and at the same time call up in our consciousness a differ- 
ent one. From this we understand the importance of 
cultivating just those outward expressions which corre- 
spond to desirable mental states and emotions. Should 
we wish to conquer any undesirable mental state or emo- 
tion we must assiduously assume and patiently cultivate 
the opposite outward movements which correspond to 
contrary and more desirable dispositions. 



Page Twenty-one 



When we understand this law, "whistling to keep up 
courage" becomes something more than a figure of 
speech, and the opposite is just as true. If we mope all 
day with a grouch, and sigh and think dismally, then our 
looks as well as our feelings must express melancholy. 
But smooth the brow, brighten the eye, and expand the 
facial muscles which express hope and mirth, and our 
thoughts will at once become genial, cheerful and more 
entertaining. 

11.— THE LOWER JAW AND CHIN 

"Broad in the jaw, and narrow in the head," is an old 
description of the boasting person that contrasts in his 
nature physical courage and moral weakness. And "all 
jaw like a sheep's head" describes the nature of those 
with narrow extended jaws, who talk or bleat without 
doing anything. Contrast the shallow jaws of the sheep 
with the deep, square jaws of the bulldog. In the sheep 
there is room for ample tongue, but not for the deep-set 
teeth, which in the bulldog enables him to fight and 
execute. 

The line of the jawbone, from the point of the chin 
to the angle of the jaw, should arch downward and out- 
ward, and the more prominence and squareness there is 
in between, the stronger and more tenacious will be the 
propensities of the natural instincts. A weak character, 
lacking in both will power and physical courage, is 
revealed in the jawbone which hollows between the point 
of the chin and narrow or sloping angles of the jaw bone. 

The Aggressive Chin 

Defiance thrusts forward the lower jaw, determina- 
tion firmly closes the jaw, and rage grits and bites in the 
teeth. By the contraction of the lower face muscles the 
ball of the chin is drawn upward, so that the force of the 

Page Twenty-two 



will and the aggressiveness of the fighting instinct are 
often shown, quite unconsciously, by the tensity of our 
chin muscles and the manner in which we thrust the chin 
upward and forward. 

The Chin and the Instincts 
The strength of the passions and instincts is indicated 
by the development of the chin. The intensity of the 
instincts is denoted by the depth and forward projection 
of the chin ; whilst the wideness and expansion of the 
chin correspond to the tenacity and stability of the natu- 
ral propensities. 

12.— THE MOUTH AND LIPS 
There is no feature so eloquent in expression as the 
mouth. The eyes may express more soulfulness, but it 
is the mouth and lips which reveal the emotional passions 
and physical sensations. In its physical structure, the 
mouth is the exposed seat of the feelings. All the nerves 
of the physical sensibilities connect one with the other, 
and the greater the expanse of the highly sensitive, mem- 
branous tissue of the lips 
the more vivid and ardent 
will be the feelings. 

Full, red lips are in- 
clined to express their 
feelings ; they accompany 
a disposition to kiss and 
to respond to being kissed. 

SU Fe P el"gs d On the Other hand, a hoi- Impulsive JFeelinga 

low mouth, with tight, thin, pale lips, is indifferent to 
kissing, and indicates a disposition not to be trusted too 
much in matters of affection. 

Well-cushioned lips, colored a fresh, cherry-red, are 
associated with pure blood and general healthfulness, 





Page Twenty-three 



and they indicate the affectionate disposition of a fond, 
companionable nature. 

A Libidinous Mouth 

The large mouth, with thick, full lips, shows plainly- 
natural tendencies towards sensuousness. When the lips 
are compressed and indrawn there is evidence that self- 
control and mastery of temptation have been exercised. 
But thick, hanging lips soon become heated with passion 
and gross with sensual desire. 

How noticeable is the difference between the forma- 
tion of the mouth of a thick, coarse-lipped sensualist and 
the gracefully moulded lips exhibited by a refined type of 
affectionate womanhood. And what a contrast is to be 
seen when we compare the appearance of the mouth of 
maiden innocence, beautifully flushed with the rosy hue 
of virginal feelings, with that of the sagging mouth of 
profligate wantonness, showing lips and teeth stained 
and discolored with the mucuous discharge so peculiar 
to the gums of the nocturnal debauchee. 

The Firm Mouth 

"A stiff upper lip" denotes fixedness of purpose and a 
character courageously determined when faced by oppo- 
sition. Depth of the central line of the up- 
per lip, from the septum of the nose to the 
teeth, indicates mental concentration and 
the ability to closely apply oneself to study 
and work. A close bite of the mouth, one 
that draws the lips inward, and the mouth 
outward in a straight line, indicates the 
capacity to endure pain and hardship. 
Sympathy and feeling are shown in the soft- 
ness of the lips; the harder and straighter the middle 
line of the mouth, the harsher and crueller is the disposi- 

Page Twenty-four 




tion. Self-control straightens the mouth, but impulsive 
weakness opens the mouth and protrudes the lips. 
The Weak Mouth 

The idle talker is identified by the weak, open mouth, 
and a face characterized by short, hollow features. 

The weakness that loves praise, and responds to the 
flattery of others, is indicated by a short, upper lip, with 
the red part lifted up so as to expose the front teeth. 
When this sign is very noticeable, the owner lives for 
praise and approval, and attempts in every way to attract 
attention and favorable appreciation. 

Laughing and Scolding Mouths 

A laughing, happy disposition belongs to those faces 
that show the outer corners of the mouth curved up- 
wards. Grumbling and scolding depress the ends of the 
lips, and leave behind a "down in the mouth" look of 
disappointment, unfortunately too common. "A merry 
heart doeth good like a medicine," says the old Scriptural 
proverb, and a hearty indulgence in fun and mirth will 
do much to help those with down-curved mouth corners 
to laugh gloom and disappointment out of their lives. 

13.— TYPES OF NOSES 

The nose is the most prominent feature of the face, 
and as an index of character it is easily read. To observe 
it properly, the nose should be studied in its three dimen- 
sions: — firstly, the length from the forehead to its tip; 
secondly, its width or expansion ; and, thirdly, the height 
of its ridge, or the degree in which it is extended forward 
from the face. 

The Greek Nose 

This nose is typical of art and refinement, and it runs 
with a clean-cut profile, almost straight from the fore- 

Page Twenty-five 



head. The ridge is well-elevated, and of good 
length, and the nostrils and ridge form exhibit 
delicacy. This nose was the distinguishing 
feature of the ancient, art-loving Greek, and to- 
day it is often seen in the faces of those who 
love beauty and refinement. 

The Subjective and Imperial Types 

An undeveloped nose is significant of the childhood 
of the race or the individual, with characteristics more 
subjective than positive. Observe how 
, short and flat are the noses of men and 
/ women who have been easily subju- 
} gated. Is not the baby-like snub the 
/ characteristic type of those Ethiopians 
yl) and Orientals who have been easily 
^ dominated? But the bold, high-arch- 
ing nose, with its imperial crest, dis- 
tinguishes the conquerors who have established their 
right to rule by the arbitrament of might. So, if you 
prefer peace to war, refrain from arousing the ire of the 
indomitable wearers of the convex, high-ridged nose. 

Up-curved and Down-curved Noses 

Much character may be discovered by observing and 
comparing the profile lines of noses. Just notice if the 
profile line is hollow or convex, if it is curved 
upward or arched downward. Be warned, if it 
is hooked downward, with the vulture-like sign 
of rapacity drawing the nostrils outward. Com- 
mon opinion has it that even Scotchmen wearing 
these acquisitive "Jew" noses are instinctively 
grasping where dollars and cents are to be gained. 

Page Twenty -six 






When the ridge of the nose is hollow, with an inverted 
curve from root to tip, there is usually an enquiring turn 
of mind. This curiosity should content itself 
with celestial visions, for when it is too inquisi- 
tive after earthly vanities its wearer may find, 
behind the glitter and glare of allurement, there 
lurks the greedy moneymaker, ever ready to 
gather in the spendings of the curious. 

Expression and Nasal Characteristics 

Fear opens and expands the nostrils, contemptuous 
disdain contracts and wrinkles them. Secretiveness may 
be read in expanded wings of the nostrils when they are 
drawn in and held closely to the cheeks. 

Suspiciousness is seen when the tip of the nose is 
sharpened and lengthened downward ; but a nose end 
thickened and flattened is often an accompaniment of 
stupidity and obstinate obtuseness. 

The faculty of analysis is seen when the septum of 
the nose projects below the nostrils. The habit of mak- 
ing critical comparisons seems to affect the muscles of 
the nose, so as to draw downward the septum. (The 
septum is the cartilage dividing the nostrils.) 

Critical discrimination is seen in a divided tip at the 
point of the nose. Seemingly, this sign is caused by the 
side muscles of the nose and cheek drawing downward 
and backward upon the flanges of the nose, so as to draw 
each side to itself and show -a division at the tip of the 
septum. 

14.— CHARACTER IN THE EYES 

The eyes have been called looking-glasses, which 
mirror the purpose and disposition of the soul. And 
there are many thousands of expressions by means of 



Page Twenty -seven 



which the eyes tell of as many differing thoughts and 
feelings. Eyes may languish with love, glow with pas- 
sion, or gleam with hate. They soften with kindness, and 
melt with pity, but harden with selfishness. They are 
dulled with gloom and sorrow, but they sparkle with 
mirth and light up with joy. 

To describe all these traits of character is difficult, but 
very many will suggest themselves after proper observa- 
tion and consideration. 

Even moral character may be revealed in the eyes. 
Muddy eyes, with "lids red-worsted lined, ,, discover the 
sensualist, but transparent eyes are often virginal in their 
purity, reflecting in their orbs the light of spiritual under- 
standing. Byron fittingly describes this contrast: 
Give me the eyes of black or blue, 
Ever, round, loving, faithful and true; 
Heaven's round orb love's vigils keep, 
Half-open optics reveal the brute asleep. 

The shape of the eyes differ greatly and the origin of 
the race of the individual is revealed in a general way 
by the form of the eyes. Eastern and Semitic races 
usually show an almond-shaped eye; the Saxon and 
Teutonic is probably the most symmetrical, showing eyes 
round but not large; the Mongolian eye is small and 
oblique, with the inner angle of the eye slanting below 
the outer; while in the Negro, the eye is round, large 
and protuberant. 

The placing of the eyes varies in their position in the 
head. When the eyes are far apart, with the root of the 
nose (Christi Galli) rising high between, there is usually 
a keen perception of form, shape, outline and contour, 
with a good visual memory for the recognition of faces, 
pictures, architecture and landscapes. 

Page Twenty-eight 



When the eyes approach too closely to the nose, the 
expression is disagreeable and suggestive of a narrow- 
minded and exclusive self-interest. The eyelids, in the 
way that they may be opened, add much character to the 
expression of the eyes. Besides their width or narrow- 
ness, they may be short or long, fleshy or thin, smooth or 
wrinkled. Many eyes owe their beauty to drooping lids, 
which give an expression of softness and subdued refine- 
ment to the face. 

The contour of the eyelids, the shape of the commis- 
sure between, and every gradation of the curve and 
thickness of the eyelid, all add expression to the eye and 
reveal to the observant physiogomist some impression of 
the working of the inner consciousness. 

The eyebrows usually show some growth of hair, 
which may be abundant or scant, thick or thin, soft and 
silky, or coarse and bushy. If the eyebrows be erratic, 
perplexed, contradictory or irritable, so will they give an 
impression of the corresponding characteristics of the 
disposition. 

While expressing the true physiognomy of the eyes, 
Oliver Wendell Holmes reveals, in the following lines, 
the inner secret by which eyes are made beautiful : 
The bright black eye, the melting blue, 
I cannot choose between the two; 
But that is dearest all the while, 
Which wears for me the sweetest smile.

LESSON 3- Unfoldment of Consciousness 
and Brain Development* 

The Seven Mental Types 

The mental consciousness of the differing units of 
the human family varies in manifestation, both in degree 
of power and the nature of its characteristics. Each 
individual is mould- 
ed in a certain way 
by his own spirit- 
ual forces and by 
the peculiarities of 
his heredity and en- 
vironment, as well 
as by education and 
experience. The 
extent in which the 
mind of a given 
person differs from 
all others can be 
gauged with some 
degree of accuracy 
by an observation 
of the shape and 
developments of his 
head. It is because 
minds differ that there are not two heads alike, and the 
developments of different types of heads are always as 
dissimilar as the variations in the characteristics of men- 
tal consciousness. 

In his primitive beginning, the mind of man was only 
a little higher than that of the instincts of the higher 

Page Thirty 




animals ; at the apex of his development the human 
mind manifests a consciousness almost god-like and 
transcendental in its wisdom and power. But between 
the lower man, limited by his animal-like instincts, and 
his superior brother, inspired with the consciousness 
almost divine, there reaches many grades of development, 
some of them not always easy to trace. As a simple 
statement, for the purposes of this lesson, a description 
is here given of seven mental types, corresponding to 
seven phases of mental unfoldment. 

Mind Activities and Higher Vibrations 

But mere size of brain alone is not always significant 
of great mental power, as the higher the brain unfolds 
in its nervous development, it becomes more delicately 
and finely organized. The amount of nerve force in an 
animal brain is much less relatively than in the human 
brain, and the activity of the mind in its different 
phases increases as the consciousness is lifted from a 
lower to a higher plane. 

GROUP 1.— PRIMARY INSTINCTS 

The area associated with the manifestation of the 
primitive instincts and propensities is distinguished by 
a short, low head, wide, full, and heavily developed above 
and around the ears. 

In the lowest type of mankind, this region is most 
developed. The mental consciousness is limited to a 
manifestation of brutal instincts and selfish propensities. 
In order to exist, he would depend upon his physical 
force and cunning, but he would have little power to 
think and plan. He would lack aspiration and ideals, and 
he would manifest neither moral ideals nor consideration 
for the social welfare of others. 



Page Thirty-one 



At the other extreme, there may be persons well 
developed in all the other regions of the head, but with 
narrowness between and around the ears. Such a type 
would not manifest physical strength and vigor, his dis- 
position would be mild and listless, and he would have 
little energy or driving power to put things over. 

GROUP 2.— SEX AND SOCIAL INSTINCTS 

Social and Domestic propensities distinguish the sec- 
ond stage of mental unfoldment, when the activity of the 
sex and social instincts is indicated by a head wide and 
full posteriorly, and well extended behind the ears and 
low down on the neck. In this stage of consciousness 
the mind loses something of its exclusive selfishness, for 
through the desires arising out of his social instincts, 
man's inclinations prompt him to pleasurable attach- 
ments, which in turn associate him with his family and 
community. 

Excessive fullness of the back head, developed low 
down towards the back of the neck, is often a sign of 
polygamous instinct. But the short back head, rising 
without fullness from the neck, indicates a solitary and 
unfriendly disposition, wanting in affectionate warmth 
and social attractiveness. 

Persons with head forms short behind the ears are 
unfitted to manage people or to work pleasantly with 
others in associated groups. 

GROUP 3.— OBJECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS 

The capacity to gain knowledge from objective per- 
ceptions characterizes the third stage of mental unfold- 
ment. This phase is distinguished by a forehead long 
from the opening of the ears to over the root of the nose. 
The forehead is well projected over the eyebrows. 

Page Thirty-two 



In this mental stage, the consciousness is discerning 
and observant, and the mind is characteristically quick 
to discover all that can be learned by perception and 
sensation. Shapes, dimensions, colors, density, arrange- 
ment and quantities are quickly noticed, geographical 
relationships are studied, the passage of time is noticed 
and sensed, and differences of sound are distinguished 
and harmonized. 

Practical observers, with all their perceptive powers 
keen and wide-awake, are easily distinguished by the 
prominence and eagle-like extension of their lower 
foreheads. 

At the other extreme, there are persons with short 
foreheads, flattened in above the eyes, who, though 
blinking with owl-like wisdom, see only little of what 
occurs around them and are too dull to take advantage 
of the facts and opportunities in their environment. 

It is persons with well extended foreheads who will 
succeed in occupations which demand keen observation 
and quick perceptions. 

GROUP 4.— IDEAS AND CONCEPTS 

The thinking and reasoning powers, which manifest 
in the fourth stage of mental unfoldment, are indicated 
by an expansive, well-elevated dome of the upper fore- 
head, the type which is so significantly shown in the 
heads of all great thinkers and philosophers. Amongst 
every-day people this type is rare; unfortunately there 
are very many more people with thick-walled, low-roofed 
foreheads, who, incapable of reasoning, speak out or act 
impulsively according to their feelings and prejudices. 

In all the higher intellectual pursuits, where it is 
necessary to think, plan, compare, and analyze as well 

Page Thirty-three 



as to understand human nature and know how to per- 
suade and act agreeably, — the required type of head 
should show length and elevation from the ear to the 
upper forehead. This form of forehead would be high- 
domed and well expanded. 

Parents who have children of a thoughtful, reflective 
type should not neglect their education, as such children 
of the "high-brow" development are best fitted for careers 
where scholarship and education are prerequisites. 

GROUP 5.— VISION AND INGENUITY 

The improving and constructive capacities manifest 
in the fifth stage of consciousness, when the mind unfolds 
in artistic imagination or expands with a vision to im- 
prove things and make conditions better. The brain form 
distinguishing this phase of consciousness is full and 
broadly arched in the region of the forward side head, 
above and backward of the temples. 

The head of the uncivilized savage shows most 
width between his prominent cheek bones, but from there 
upwards it slopes and narrows like the gable of a house, 
right to the crown. Compare this shape with the head of 
a Stevenson or Edison, and you will understand some- 
thing of how brain development is an accompaniment to 
mental evolution and human progression. Instead of the 
temples flattening in, like those of the savage, the inven- 
tors show a spherical fullness of the forward side head, 
the region which develops as consciousness demands 
improvements and better conditions. 

Fullness of brain within the forward side head is 
necessary to the mechanic and manufacturer, as well as 
to the writer or poet. Those without this regional 

Page Thirty-four 



development lack inventiveness, artistically they are un- 
imaginative, and they have no genius for the contempla- 
tion or creation of literature. 

GROUP 6. — WILL AND EGOISM 

Aspiration, concentration, prudence, self-control, and 
the will to govern others are manifested in the sixth 
unfoldment of consciousness. In this stage, there is pru- 
dence and circumspection, the ego is self-assertive and 
ambitious, there is concentrated purposefulness, and the 
will is positive and determined. 

As the will and the self-consciousness of the ego 
unfold, the type of head form becomes well elevated and 
expanded in the region of the back crown. This will be 
seen readily after comparing the heads of self-contained 
men, who rule and direct the lives of others, with the 
shape and lack in height of the back crown of those who 
are always in subordinate positions. In the latter class, 
the back crown is undeveloped and more or less deficient, 
and, correspondingly, they are personally servile or in 
some way incapable of manifesting will and purpose. 
Thus, the difference between the servile slave and his 
master is shown in the varying proportions of their brain 
development, and, even though their conditions were 
levelled, there would still be many with undeveloped 
heads who would serve quite willingly the few with self- 
conscious egoism more highly developed. 

GROUP 7.— INTUITIONAL AND DIVINE 
CONSCIOUSNESS 

The spiritual and religious forces, as they unfold in 
the consciousness, develop and elevate the brain in the 
region of the fore crown, upward and above the temples. 

Page Thirty-five 



This is the head type of the true priest, or spiritual 
teacher, who, by reverencing the guiding power of the 
universe, grows into His likeness and unfolds in His 
consciousness. 

It is by spiritual insight that the mind becomes in- 
spired, and man must lift his soul above material interests 
and personal attachments before he can open the win- 
dows of his consciousness to the vision within, where 
flow in creative faith and holy guidance. 

There are many deficient fore crowns, without devel- 
opment higher than the temples. In these, there is 
neither reverence for the sacred, nor hope in the eternal, 
and they often lack spiritual faith and manifest little 
kindness or consideration for the welfare of others. 

A marked pinching and depression of the fore crown 
show that religion has been neglected, or that selfish- 
ness has checked the elevating activities of faith, hope 
and conscience. A difference in the form of development 
is at once noticeable when a comparison is made between 
the heads of those who have devoted their lives to phil- 
anthropy, religion, and the cause of righteousness, and 
of the heads of those whose lives have been dominated 
by selfishness, passion or crime.
